So, I got one of those 80cc chinablocks from zoombicycles.com. After 20 km the plastic tensioner wheel broke off someplace. Purchased a metal wheel ata bearing shop here locally that I think are usually for lawn mowers. Once I finished messing with this, I ran another 40 km. So far so good, however, I think the engine is running lean.
My idler adjustment screw popped off someplace, thankfully it was only a few hundred yards away to a boxstore hardware store (canadian tire). I found some screws there that fit just great! However, on my way home, the engine would stall. Happened a few times. Seemed if I let the engine cool down it would let me rip it again.
I am just scared that;
I am running too lean? The engine gets really hot, so hot, that a I could notice a little bit of vapour or smoke coming off the engine.
Is there a ideal adjustment for the idler screw, and what about the lever on the carb as well? I usually try to keep it in the middle.
This has been a learning experience for me. I read these forums for 2 weeks before I started my kit install.
Also, the engine doesn't seem to kick in as it used to, it will start and idle, but I have to pedal even more than I had to when I started.
I am just scared I will ruin my engine, I cant find a good reference for care and maintenance. And if there is a good thread on this, by all means, share the link and your insight.
